Galatians 2
1 Then after fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus with me;
Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
2 but I went up according to revelation; and I presented to them the gospel which I am preaching among the Gentiles, but privately to the prominent ones, lest perhaps I am running, or did run, in vain.
and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;
3 But neither was Titus the one with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised:
(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )
4 but on account of the false brethren having crept in, who came in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they shall bring us into bondage:
and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
5 to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide with you.
to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
6 But of those seeming to be something what they were at that time makes no difference to me: God does not receive the face of man: for those seeming to me to be prominent added nothing extra:
But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat — whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;
7 but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision,
but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,
8 for the one having wrought with Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision also wrought with me unto the Gentiles:
(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )
9 and having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;
and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that we [should go] to the nations, and they to the circumcision;
10 only that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
11 And when Cephas came into Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to blame.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
12 For before certain ones came from James, he was eating along with the Gentiles: but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;
13 And the rest of the Jews also reciprocated with him; so that even Barnabas was led away by their dissimulation.
and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If you being a Jew are living like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how do you compel the Gentiles to judaize?
But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
15 We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
16 knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but through the faith of Christ Jesus, and we have believed into Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by faith of Christ, and not by works of law, because by works of law no flesh shall be justified.
but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.
17 But if seeking to be justified in Christ, we may also be found sinners, then is Christ the minister of sin? it could not be so.
Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.
18 For if I again build the things which I have destroyed, I constitute myself a transgressor.
For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
19 For I through law died to law, in, order that I may live unto God.
For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
20 I am crucified along with Christ; and I live no longer, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.
21 I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness was through law, then Christ died gratuitiously.
I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
